3.12 Dual Carrier Load Balancing
BreezeCOMPACT’s Dual Carrier topology in a Single Sector enables load balancing between two
carriers. The load is distributed between the two carriers using a load balancing algorithm in each
carrier.
Two configurable parameters are used in this algorithm:
 Num of MSs per Carrier: Defines the minimum number of MSs to be connected to a carrier before
the load balancing mechanism is activated. The default value is 10.
 Num of MSs Difference Between Carriers: Defines the maximum difference between the number of
MSs connected to each carrier. The default value is 5.
The following load balancing information is displayed in Telnet:
 LB allow MS init: Displays the minimum number of MSs to be connected to a carrier before the
load balancing mechanism is activated
 LB allow diff between carriers: Displays the maximum difference between the number of MSs
connected to each carrier.
 Carrier 1 MS Count: Displays the number of MSs connected to Carrier 1.
 Carrier 1 LB: Indicates whether load balancing is OFF or ON for Carrier 1.
 Carrier 2 MS Count: Displays the number of MSs connected to Carrier 2.
 Carrier 2 LB: Indicates whether load balancing is OFF or ON for Carrier 2.
